FINE ARTS AND LITERARY – Ciessegi is an important point of reference concerning fine arts publications and the organization of events related to the artistic and cultural world.

As Stefano and Massimo Giardini are fond of arts, some years ago the publishing house also started publishing fine arts books, essays and novels.

In addition, several artistic events were organized for the “trendy” painter Piero Gauli, especially in the region Umbria, where he has been working and where Ciessegi Editrice is well integrated thanks to the presence of collaborators on the territory.
